it has been just over two weeks since i was transplanted in the alternate reality known as decatur and i have decided that maybe it's not as bad i thought it was gonna be. sure they still do LOTS of things wrong/different, but i could get used to it. i'm not gonna participate in the wrong doing, but i'm not gonna let it get to me. i'm gonna go in, make the coffee, count the money, and go home. that way, i'm not bothered by the things that i can't change.
i have resolved my differences with the couple of people that i had issues with my first couple of days. the majority of the partners there are not that bad. some of them, believe it or not, i like, and likeing the people that i work with makes a huge deifference in my day. i don't expect to have relationships anywhere near those i have with the partners in athens tho. that's okay with me. i like the friends that i have.
the only thing now that kinda bugs me is that there are a couple know-it-all women in this store. you can't put numerouse hard headed know-it-all women in one place and expect that things will run smoothly. there are far to many cheifs and not enough indians in this place. i don't like it when someone i know is wrong tries to correct me. especially when i am one of the people who taught that person what they think they know. whatever. i guess that i'll get used to that too. i'm just gonna do what i have to do and see what happens next...

there's no place like home
i realize that i made this profile like a month ago and have not written anything. but since i am no longer right next to the peole that i talk to, i figured that i might as well put something up here.
i have, in the last week, been removed from my comfort zone. i was transfered from my home store and the family of baristas and customers that i love to another planet. this new store is just not for me. i will stay there as long as i am asked, but have made it very clear to the powers that be that i don't like it. most of the baristas at this new store are rude to each other and the customers, just kinda half do what they are suppossed to, and don't realy pay that much attention to what their management team tells them to do.
speaking of their managment team, they don't do half of what they are suppossed to do either. they boss their manager around and SHE DOES WHAT THEY TELL HER TO DO!!! what kind of boss does that? their cash management is all wrong and they don't flow well because it seems like deployment is nonexistant at this store. i am almost embarrassed to call myself a part of that team. i would realy like to know how that store consistantly gets the highest customer voice scores in the area!
anyway, i feel like i am lost in a place and i don't know where i am or how to speak the language, and i can't find my way out. i miss all the REAL people in athens. i called the boss man and asked him if i could come home now and he just said to give it some time. i don't realy want to give it some time, because things, in all likelyhood, will get worse with time. i just want to be in a place where i don't feel like i will be pulled down with mess when it all hits the fan. in the words of judy garland, "there's no place like home".
